Why teams pick CrawlSense over Sistrix
Sistrix has unmatched visibility tracking. CrawlSense has the deepest audit and the only GEO score in the category.
Semantic clustering, not just keywords
CrawlSense groups your content using embeddings (HDBSCAN), so you see topical structure — not just a keyword list. Sistrix doesn't cluster by meaning.
AI-native, narrated insights
Claude reads your entire crawl and writes the executive summary for you. Sistrix gives you dashboards; CrawlSense gives you decisions.
GEO score (AI search readiness)
Every crawl scores your site on AI Crawlability, structured data, answer-friendliness, authority and structure. Sistrix has no GEO module.

Start free trialSwitching from Sistrix — common questions
Does CrawlSense have a Visibility Index?
No. Visibility-style scoring is Sistrix's core product. CrawlSense focuses on what happens inside your site (audit + semantic + GEO) rather than where you rank against millions of keywords. Most teams pair CrawlSense with GSC for ranking data.
Can I replace my Sistrix subscription with CrawlSense?
If your Sistrix usage is mostly the Optimizer (audit) module — yes, and you'll spend less. If you live in the Visibility Index and keyword database, keep Sistrix and add CrawlSense for deeper audit + semantic + GEO. The two complement well.
Do you have a backlinks database?
Not natively. We focus on on-site analysis. For backlinks, we integrate with the GSC link reports you already have. If you need a deep backlink index, keep your dedicated tool (Sistrix / Ahrefs) and use CrawlSense for the audit side.
How does pricing compare?
CrawlSense Starter starts at €59/mo. Sistrix Plus starts around €119/mo, with most agencies on the higher tiers for the full suite. If audit + semantic + GEO is what you're paying Sistrix for, CrawlSense is roughly half the cost with deeper coverage in those areas.
